Legend

the creation of Imperial General Rom Mohc, the Dark Troopers were specially-enhanced, fully-automated troopers. There were three stages of darktrooper development. Stage 1 involved a droid frame wearing just the protective exoskeleton, equipped with knife-like armor and an arm-mounted shield. Although primitive, Stage 1 dark troopers were nonetheless relentless in their pursuit of a target. Stage 2 dark troopers were to be the standard combat unit, using the same exoskeleton with additional armor plating, but were armed with assault cannons and rocket packs. Stage 3 dark troopers were never fully developed. Rom Mohc was the only known user of the Stage 3 design, which incorporated enhanced shields. The Dark Trooper project was smashed by Kyle Katarn when he infiltrated the Arc Hammer manufacturing facility, defeated Mohc in combat, and destroyer the Arc Hammer.
